人权组织国际地球权利说，两个国际能源公司为缅甸压迫民主的军政府提供支持。国际地球权利星期四发表报告说，法国石油巨头道达尔公司和美国石油公司雪佛龙涉嫌协助掩盖跟天然气管道项目有关的高层腐败和谋杀。
该组织在曼谷发布给媒体的两份报告里显示，这个输油管项目使缅甸军政府获利将近50亿美元，军政府将项目收入存于两家新加坡银行。
国际地球权利缅甸项目负责人史密斯表示，将收入隐瞒在国民预算之外使得军政府能够逃脱国际制裁。他还表示，两个西方公司使用不准确的信息，高估了这个项目能够给村落带来的正面影响。道达尔和雪佛龙还没有对此事做出回应。
A human rights group says two international oil firms are providing support for Burma’s oppressive military regime.EarthRights International reports that French company Total and American firm Chevron helped cover up high-level corruption and killings connected to a pipeline project.
Two reports released to journalists Thursday in Bangkok say the (Yadana) project has earned the Burmese government nearly $5 billion and that most of the money is kept in two banks in Singapore.The group’s project coordinator for Burma, Matthew Smith, says the hidden funds help the military rulers avoid the effect of international sanctions.
Smith also says the two western companies have used inaccurate information to give favorable assessments of the project’s effect on villages.Total and Chevron have not immediately responded to the reports.
